Switching Peers in the Firewall Management Center High Availability Pair
Because the system restricts some functionality to the active Firewall Management Center, if that appliance fails, you must promote the standby Firewall Management Center to active:
Procedure
Step 1 | Log into one of the Firewall Management Centers that you paired using high availability. |
Step 2 | Choose , and then choose High Availability. |
Step 3 | Choose Switch Peer Roles to change the local role from Active to Standby, or Standby to Active. This switches the active and standby roles between the two peers, while the Primary and Secondary designations remain unchanged. Note that role here refers to the active or standby status of the management center in the HA deployment, not the primary or secondary designation assigned during HA setup. |
